On a side note:

McCain:
“Mr. President, I am pleased to be joined by my good friends and colleagues Senators Feingold from Wisconsin, and Lott from Mississippi, and our good friends who lead the campaign finance reform fight in the House, Representatives Shays and Meehan, in introducing a bill to end the illegal practice of 527 groups spending soft money on ads and other activities to influence federal elections.

I'm curious as to why McCain is behind the 527 Reform Act, is it a ligitimate concern because of people like Soro's or is it really the SBV that he wants to neutralize. He really isn't a friend of GWB, but he does like Kerry.. Maybe the 527's do need some reform but I don't trust McCain.

Agree. I thought McCain's criticism of the SBVFT was out of line, especially calling them dishonorable. As far as 527s are concerned, I would rather keep them unrestricted rather than add to the McCain-Feingold restrictions on political speech. Admittedly, there were abuses expecially by the Dems, which used Soros and Moveon.org as mouthpieces for the Dem Party. The SBVFT were a true 527 and I would hate to see any such group muzzled in the next Presidential campaign. I am for full disclosure and no restrictions on political speech. McCain-Feingold needs to be repealed.

You got it. Mclame cannot be trusted to support the President or real America. His psychotic hatred of President Bush overrides any reasonable/sane activity that could help him. This isn't new, he has been a RINO for years.
